For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I might show My power in you, and that My name might be declared in all the earth.

For the Scripture says, Everyone believing on Him will not be put to shame.

God has not cast away His people whom He foreknew. Or do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel, saying,

To the Law and to the Testimony! If they do not speak according to this Word, it is because there is no light in them.

Have you not even read this Scripture: The stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner;

Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, The Spirit who dwells in us yearns to envy?

knowing this first, that not any of the prophecies of Scripture came into being from personal exposition,

for prophecy was not formerly brought forth by man's choice, but holy men of God spoke as they were propelled along by the Holy Spirit.

And he believed in Jehovah, and He accounted it unto him for righteousness.

Just as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.

And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel before to Abraham, saying, In you all the nations shall be blessed.

And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. And he was called, Friend of God.

But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted unto righteousness,

Does this blessedness then come upon the circumcised only, or upon the uncircumcised also? For we say that faith was accounted to Abraham for righteousness.

And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while still uncircumcised, that he might be the father of all those believing through uncircumcision, that righteousness might be accounted to them also;

And therefore it was accounted to him for righteousness.

but also for us, to whom it shall be accounted, believing in Him who raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead,

And it was accounted to him for righteousness from generation to generation forevermore.
